It is hassle to manage your own files on all your devices.I would rather i had app like Spotify but streaming files owned by me.
- guerrilla 5y agoPersonally I'd use Banshee (or iTunes if you prefer) and a NAS, but a lot of people are using Nextcloud which has plugins for this kind of thing.
- manquer 5y agoBanshee looks interesting! thanks for sharing. I was hoping for a streaming server(and clients) I suppose!, which maybe also fetches podcasts and also maybe does audiobooks and perhaps manage buying from stores which supports DRM free content downloads.
- guerrilla 5y agoThere's also Rhythmbox and Amarok but I never like them too much. I think Nextcloud may have what you want, I just can't speak to that since I haven't used it myself.
- porcoda 5y agoI use iTunes Match for making stuff available in the cloud (eg, so i can access it all from my phone), and locally store it all on a NAS. Pretty easy.
- manquer 5y agoThis looks a good fit for people with Apple devices . Sadly no clients for android. I have a mix of Linux , OSX Android and iOS, I won't be able to use in half of them! but given podcasts and other itunes features i suppose this best out of the box solution out there.
- porcoda 5y agoTrue. When I’m at home, the NAS serves up the music to my Linux systems. Unfortunately, not so useful when I’m on the road - in that case you’re right, I’m stuck with the apple devices. I would love for something like iTunes Match that worked as smoothly for non apple devices. That is probably the one apple service that keeps me locked into their ecosystem, and that bugs me.
